1 Introduction to the DDU-100 Series AED
IMPORTANT NOTE: This User Manual only applies to DDU-100 and DDU-120
AEDs running software version 3.2 or higher that include the marking shown at
left on the rear panel AED pad holder label (see Section 5.2.7 for details).
Please refer to www.defibtech.com/support for information about DDU-100
and DDU-120 AEDs running earlier software versions.
This User Manual provides information to guide trained operators in the use and maintenance of the
Defibtech DDU-100 Series Automated External Defibrillators (“AED”) and their accessories. It includes
comprehensive training on set-up, use, and maintenance and is the source for complete technical
specifications. This chapter includes an overview of the AEDs, a discussion of when they should and
should not be used, and information on required operator training.
1.1 Overview
DDU-100 Series AEDs are designed to be easy to use, portable, and battery powered. Voice prompts
and visual indicators provide a simple interface for the operator. The AEDs are capable of recording
event information including ECG, audio data (optional), and SHOCK/NO-SHOCK recommendations.
The DDU-100 Series of AEDs is comprised of the following models:
• DDU-100 — The DDU-100 is a semi-automatic external defibrillator. It has two user controls:
the ON/OFF and SHOCK buttons. It will NOT shock a patient automatically; it will only advise
the operator. The SHOCK button is enabled only when a shockable rhythm is detected and the
device is charged and ready to shock. Charging occurs automatically when the device detects a
shockable rhythm. The operator must press the SHOCK button to initiate defibrillation.
• DDU-120 — The DDU-120 is a fully automatic external defibrillator. It has only one user control:
the ON/OFF button. It WILL shock a patient automatically without additional interaction by the
operator if a shock is advised.
When connected to a patient who is unconscious and not breathing, the DDU-100 Series AED
performs the following tasks:
• Prompts the operator to take necessary actions to enable analysis.
• Automatically analyzes the patient’s ECG.
• Determines whether a shockable rhythm is present.
• Charges the capacitor.
• DDU-100: Arms the SHOCK button if the AED detects a shockable rhythm and prompts the
operator to press the SHOCK button when the device is ready and a shock is advised.
• DDU-120: Automatically delivers a shock, without any user intervention, once the device has
determined a shock is advised.
• Repeats the process, if needed.

2
DAC-A580-EN-DF
The AED uses two self-adhesive, single-use, non-sterile defibrillation pads to monitor ECG signals
and, if advised, to deliver defibrillation energy to the patient. These pads (also known as electrode
pads or electrodes) are provided in a single-use, disposable package that can be preconnected to
the AED. The pads package is labeled with an expiration date.
The AED determines proper pad-to-patient contact by monitoring the impedance between the two
pads. Visual and audio prompts inform the operator of possible problems with patient contact.
Voice prompts and visual LED indicators communicate the status of the AED and of the patient to
the operator.
Defibrillation energy is delivered as an impedance compensated biphasic truncated exponential
waveform. The device delivers 150 Joules into a 50-ohm load when using adult pads or when
using attenuated child / infant pads, 50J of defibrillation energy into a 50-ohm load. Energy
delivered does not change significantly with patient impedance, although the duration of the
generated waveform will vary. The DDU-100 Series AED is designed to deliver up to 150J of
defibrillation energy through a patient impedance range of 25 – 180 ohms or 50J of defibrillation
energy when using the child / infant pads.
Defibrillation and AED operating power is supplied with a replaceable (non-rechargeable) lithium
battery pack that provides for long standby life and low maintenance operation. Battery packs are
available in several configurations optimized for use in specific applications. Each pack is marked
with an expiration date.
The AED records event documentation internally and, optionally, on a Defibtech Data Card
(DDC). The optional DDC inserts into a slot in the AED and enables the AED to record event
documentation, and audio (audio enabled cards only) if sufficient space is available on the card.
Audio recording is available only for units with installed audio-enabled Defibtech Data Cards. Event
documentation stored internally can be downloaded onto a DDC for review.
1.2 The Defibtech DDU-100 Series AED
A. Speaker. The speaker projects the voice prompts when the AED is on. The speaker also
emits a “beep” when the unit is in standby mode and has detected a condition that requires
operator attention.
B. SHOCK button †(DDU-100 ONLY).This button will flash when a shock is recommended -
push this button to deliver the shock to the patient. This button is disabled at all other times.
†IMPORTANT: On the fully-automatic DDU-120, a SHOCK Required Indicator which flashes
when a shock is recommended and the unit has charged and is to deliver a shock is in the
SHOCK button location. Do not touch the patient while this indicator is flashing.
C. “analyzing” LED (Light Emitting Diode). This green LED flashes when the AED is
analyzing the patient’s ECG rhythm.
D. “do not touch patient” LED. This red LED flashes when the AED detects motion or other
interference that prevents analysis of the signal or when the user should not be touching or
moving the patient.

3 Setting Up the DDU-100 Series AED
This chapter describes the steps required to make your Defibtech DDU-100 Series AED
operational. The DDU-100 Series AED is designed to be stored in a “ready” state. This chapter
tells you how to make the device ready, so that if and when you need it, few steps are required to
begin using the device.
3.1 Overview
The following components and accessories are included with your DDU-100 Series AED.
Replacement and other accessories are detailed in the “DDU-100 Series AED Accessories” section.
Before getting started, identify each component and ensure that your package is complete.
• DDU-100 or
DDU-120 AED • Battery pack
• Defibrillation
pads package • Operating Guide
Defibtech DDU-100 Series
Automated External Defibrillator
• DDU-100
• DDU-120
Operating Guide
• 9V lithium battery
• Data Card (included with
some AED packages;
also available separately
- see Section 6.3)

12
DAC-A580-EN-DF
3.2 Installing the Defibtech Data Card (“DDC”)
The Defibtech Data Card (“DDC”) is used to store event and audio
information collected by the AED. All DDU-100 Series AEDs will operate
without DDCs and will still store select event information internally.
Different DDC versions store different amounts of information. DDCs
are available in versions that store and don’t store audio information.
Refer to the DDC technical specification for exact storage capabilities.
Information stored on the DDC is retrievable with a separate PC-based
software package (see Chapter 7).
To install the DDC, remove the battery pack and push the DDC, label side up, into the thin slot in
the side of the AED centered over the battery pack opening. The card should click into place and
be flush with the surface of the slot. If the card does not push in all the way, it may have been
inserted upside down. In that case, remove the card, flip it over and try inserting it again.
To remove the DDC, press the card in all the way and then let go. The DDC will be partially ejected
and can be removed by pulling it the rest of the way out.
3.3 Installing the Active Status Indicator 9V Battery
A user-replaceable lithium 9V battery, located inside the battery pack, provides Active Status
Indicator (“ASI”) power (see Section 4.2 for details). This auxiliary battery is used to provide
standby indicator power independently of the main lithium battery (contained in the battery pack)
allowing the main battery pack to have a significantly longer shelf and standby life.
To meet battery pack specifications (see Section 8.2 for details), a lithium 9V battery should be
installed into the battery pack. While DDU-100 Series AEDs will operate rescue and standby
functions with a battery pack that does not contain 9V battery, battery pack standby life will be
reduced.
The 9V battery is installed into the battery pack in the 9V battery
compartment. To install, remove the cover covering the 9V battery
compartment by pushing on it sideways. The cover will slide and
detach from the battery pack. Insert the 9V battery into the 9V
battery compartment so that the contacts on the battery touch the
contacts in the battery pack. Replace the 9V battery compartment
door by placing it in the almost closed position and then sliding it
closed. Only a fresh 9V lithium battery should be used as a
replacement. Refer to the Maintenance section for more
information on replacement batteries.
Once the battery pack is installed into the unit, the AED’s Active
Status Indicator should flash green every five seconds.

13
DAC-A580-EN-DF
3.4 Installing and Removing the Battery Pack
NOTE: DDU-100 series AEDs will continue to perform standby and ASI functions without the
9V ASI battery installed, but battery pack standby life will be reduced.
The lithium battery pack provides power to the DDU-100 Series AED. Before inserting the battery
pack into the AED, the 9V lithium battery should be installed in the battery pack itself as described
in the previous section. Do not install the battery pack after the expiration date printed on the
label. The battery pack is non-rechargeable.
To insert the battery pack into the AED, orient
the battery pack so that the label faces up. Make
certain that the battery opening in the side of the
AED is clean and clear of any foreign objects.
Insert the battery pack into the opening in the
side of the AED. Slide the battery pack all the
way in until the latch clicks. If it does not slide all
the way in, it is most likely inserted upside down.
Once fully inserted, the battery pack surface
should be flush with the side of the AED.
To remove the battery pack, push the battery
eject button on the side of the AED. After the
battery pack is partially ejected, pull the battery
pack out.
Within moments of insertion, the AED will turn on and run a battery pack insertion self-test. The
unit will automatically shut off after the test is run. Afterwards, the Active Status Indicator on the
top corner of the AED will periodically flash. If the indicator flashes green, the AED and battery
pack are functioning properly, if the indicator flashes red, there is a problem. Refer to Section 4.2
for more details on the meaning of the indicator.
3.5 Connecting the Pads
The defibrillation pads are supplied sealed in a pouch with the connector and part of the cable
exposed.
Caution: DO NOT remove the defibrillation pads from the sealed package until the pads are to be
used. The packaging should be opened only immediately prior to use, otherwise the pads may dry
out and become non-functional.
Note: The AED is designed to be stored with the pads connector already installed. This reduces
the time needed to set up and start treatment in an emergency.
